To become a good human being one needs to have a strong spiritual connection with the creator on one hand, and compassion for the creation on the other. One needs to be a well-wisher for the humanity and must have an overwhelming desire to help fellow human beings especially the downtrodden without a sense of doing favour and without any discrimination of caste, creed, gender or religion etc. On the contrary, one must help the needy in such a way that they don’t even realize who their champion is and seek the appreciation from God only.

We live in an age where debilitating poverty & acute hunger have reached alarming proportions in our society. Poor information of basic healthcare and lack of sanitation are the major contributing factors to the prevalence of diseases& high child mortality rates. It is therefore our collective responsibility to provide access to safe drinking water, basic nutrition & proper sanitation to these impoverished sections of our society. Likewise, providing genuine educational avenues & scholarships for the orphans & the underprivileged children is a social obligation.

However,in our increasingly consumerist society the value for other’s life &concern for the predicaments of our fellow humans has substantially diminished.The Quran proclaims about the kindhearted people that, “…they feed, for the love of Allah, the poor, the orphan, and the captive..." [Surah Al-Insaan, 8]. It further declares that, “Those who spend their wealth in charity by night and day, secretly and openly, they will have their reward from their Rabb. They shall have nothing to fear or to regret.” [Surah Baqara, 274]Thus, compassion & kindness towards the millions of deprived people of our society is a categorical commandment from our Creator.
